inner city street kids
who are you
inner city street kids
what do you do
where did you come from
where is your home
what do you do at night
where do you roam
who wrote you off
what happened to your dreams
was it one decision or two
to create a life as hard as yours seems
urban urchin
dweller of the slums
mischievous and raggedly
trusting no one
invisible to many
no place to live
falling through the cracks
like water through a sieve
there is a danger of getting lost
of descending deep into nowhere
second chances come
listen, they are there
life can be hard
but remember it’s precious and purposeful
fight your way back
in any way workable
show yourself
regardless of the obstacles
fight for what is worthy
to be more powerful
in a world made more beautiful
what would you desire most
what would ignite your passion
make you boast
inner city street kids
full of erratic emotion
inner city street kids
causing commotion
who are you
from where did you come
such beautiful souls
neglected, on the run
